Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott?

0.349 - 30.962 Scott Adams

I'll get my comments working here. There we go. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Ra-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Da-da-da-da-da-da. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

31.902 - 48.008 Scott Adams

And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker shells beside a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

49.107 - 83.141 Scott Adams

Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better today with a little oxytocin to go. Now, if that didn't make your loneliness go away, I don't know why well, because we're all here together today. We're live. We're figuring it out. We're making the world a better place. It's all good. Well, here's some news about science.

84.222 - 116.444 Scott Adams

Turns out that eggs, according to a new study, they might protect your brain health. So if you eat eggs, you're less likely to have cognitive dysfunction in your middle age and longer. Now, I was quite interested in this study, and I was thinking about taking on a loan from to get myself one of these eggs. Have any of you been lucky enough to be able to afford an egg? I hear they're good.

0

116.644 - 146.879 Scott Adams

They're good for your brain. If you can afford one, go get one. Meanwhile, in the biggest surprise in all of science, there's a study that says that alcohol might be bad for your brain. It's linked to Alzheimer's risk. Huh, a gigantic surprise. Alcohol's not good for you. Here's another, here's a fun one. SciTech Daily says there's a breakthrough in regeneration.

147.92 - 172.179 Scott Adams

Let's see, they're adding the synthetic peptides to your own blood and it can mimic your own regenerative hematoma. So somehow they take your own blood and they give it a little boost with some peptides. And the next thing you know, you've got super blood. You will be enrolling in the X-Men School of Excellence with your super blood, or possibly they'll just make you healthier.

174.28 - 201.835 Scott Adams

There's a study at SciPost that's talking about a study that shows that politics can trump truth. And it's funny they use the word trump there. So here's what they did. They gave people various facts about some true, some fake about politics. And they noticed that people were more likely to believe things that agreed with them politically. Huh. I wonder how they could have saved some money.

203.115 - 232.464 Scott Adams

Well, you could have just asked me. Yes, people do tend to agree with the people on their side and think that that's totally right and everybody else is totally wrong. It's true. It's true. I know it's a shocker. Shocker. But they found that Trump, they say that people who favor Trump were more likely, more likely to believe fake news if it agreed with their team. Huh.

233.665 - 253.803 Scott Adams

Raises an interesting question, doesn't it? Apparently, there is a group of scientists who know what news is real. Now, wouldn't it be helpful, instead of wasting their time on this study, if they had simply said, hey, we're scientists and we know which news is real.

Chapter 2: How can eggs benefit brain health?

2346.83 - 2381.4 Scott Adams

But I think this is a fun game and we should play some more of it. What kind of jobs our leaders couldn't get? For example, Joe Biden, I don't believe could get a job as a babysitter. You know what I mean? I don't think he could. How about Kamala Harris? Could she get a job as running your AA meetings? Probably not. Probably not. Could Kamala Harris get a job that required a drug test?

0

2382.94 - 2414.996 Scott Adams

I don't know. Good question. Could she? Could Kamala Harris get a job as the head of the FBI? Again, I'm pretty sure you'd have to pass a drug test. Vice President and President didn't have to pass any drug tests, right? So, I don't know. Just suspicions. I don't have any proof that she does any drugs. All right. So that's a fun game. What you could not be hired to do.

2416.857 - 2438.827 Scott Adams

Hugh Hewitt is saying that maybe the Gates nomination is some kind of 4D chess. Have you ever heard that before? That Trump and Gates may be running a play, and the real purpose of it is to get Gates out of his ethics probe. So he's under an ethics investigation in the House.

0

2439.388 - 2465.345 Scott Adams

They haven't completed it, but since he's resigned, and he resigned under the cover of nomination for AJ, that they would naturally drop the investigation. although there's some thinking that the paper might be released. But it wouldn't be binding on anything because he wouldn't be a member at that point. So what do you think of that?

0

2466.145 - 2507.835 Scott Adams

Do you think that the whole thing was a clever plan to simply avoid him being covered by that proceeding? And do you think that... Well, I think it could be just one of the benefits. I think that genuinely Trump would feel more comfortable with his most loyal hill raiser in that position. So if he doesn't want Matt Gaetz in that position, then my question would be, who's better? Who's better?

2509.906 - 2537.971 Scott Adams

Who are we going to see that would be a better choice? Now, definitely you could get somebody who would be less controversial. So that's easy. And less controversy is worth something, right? That's not nothing. So, you know, indeed, he could get somebody less controversial. But could he get somebody who would trust more, who would more likely pull the weeds out by the roots than Gates?

2538.051 - 2565.24 Scott Adams

I don't think so. He might actually, he's very high on my list as first choice. So we'll see. It could be that he wants him as AG. It could be that it also solves the problem of the ethics thing. Could be. But let me say this as unambiguously as possible. I don't care what Matt Gaetz did as a single man. Some of the things he's being accused of,

2569.265 - 2594.138 Scott Adams

You could say, oh, I wish he hadn't done that, or he shouldn't brag about his success with the ladies. Yeah, okay, I don't care. I mean, I can agree with you that maybe less of that would be better, but I don't care. And you can't make me care about his sex life. Now, there's allegations that there was something illegal that I'm not even going to mention.

2595.296 - 2609.667 Scott Adams

but he's not being brought up on any legal charges. So if the government's legal mechanism can't find anything that they think is worth pursuing, then why am I going to listen to some report?

Chapter 3: What surprising link did the study find between alcohol and brain health?

3204.588 - 3239.616 Scott Adams

So that's the group that's ahead of all the Smaller federal health agencies that would give him power over everything health related. I can't even tell you how much I love this. I just absolutely love it. Are we getting, what is this? I'm seeing some anti-Semitism that needs to stop right now. Is there something going on in the comments over there?

0

3241.698 - 3282.1 Scott Adams

Yeah, well, I just saw something go by that you need to stop that right away. None of that is okay. That is not okay. All right. So I forgot that Rachel Levine was the Health and Human Services Secretary before. So I don't have a comment on that. I'll just note that going from Rachel Levine to RFK Jr. is a pretty big change in priorities. Pretty big change. And I'm all in. I'm all in on this.

0

3282.64 - 3310.212 Scott Adams

Now, I do think that if the way pharma works and even the way food works is radically changed, We are guaranteed to have two things happen. We're going to have some pretty deadly disruptions probably in our pharma business. In the long run, I think we'll be way better. In the short run, it might deny us some medicines that work better than they don't work.

0

3311.453 - 3332.084 Scott Adams

And in the long run, though, I think it's a giant potential improvement. Same with food. In the short run, we might learn that some of the foods that we routinely eat are so dangerous, they should be immediately taken off the market, which will cause other food prices to go up, which will cause us to have fewer choices.

0

3333.144 - 3355.433 Scott Adams

So my guess is that you can't do any major reforms for the pharma approvals or for the food approvals without major disruptions. Now, it's the fear of major disruption that makes anybody not change anything because you don't want the negative to be greater than the benefit you're trying to get.

3356.294 - 3385.769 Scott Adams

But when you reach a point where your food and your medicine is killing you and you don't trust either one, then the risk of a disruption becomes manageable. So here's the thing I want to tell you. If you think that RFK Jr. can do what he wants without major disruptions, pretty major, to the way you live, and maybe even people you know will have some health outcomes, that's all going to happen.

3387.589 - 3399.453 Scott Adams

You're going to get some problems, right? So just know for sure that you can't make a change this big without breaking a few eggs to make your omelet. Some eggs are going to get broken.

3400.555 - 3425.29 Scott Adams

but we have to get past this we have institutions that are just broken and we we've got to fix it and the only way to do it is you know a bunch of people are going to leave and they're going to take with them some institutional knowledge we'll have to you know build it back we can build it back better to borrow a phrase but not until there's a lot of problems in between Now, the fact that RFK Jr.

3426.09 - 3452.539 Scott Adams

is apparently fearless, he apparently has no fear of anything physical, social, or political. Yeah, physical, social. He doesn't appear to have any fear, or he operates as if he doesn't, which is even more awesome. But talk about the right guy for the right job at the right time. It's just the thing that's blowing my mind is the timing.
